By Kent Agerlund
Such a powerful tool, lots of moving parts.

Congratulations on three years! This website’s been a great help/inspiration for working on servers.

That’s awesome that you got to work on the Hacker’s Playbook. I bought that book with hopes of moving into more security oriented roles (After grinding out this MCSA Server 2012 cert) and it’s a really nice read.

I think the Active Directory: Designing, Deploying, and Running Active Directory would be a great book to help with!
